You walk, you stroll, you love, you growHow the city effects you, you never know Meeting people and making friends A new adventure around each bend A place for old and new love too Seeing couples holding hands, its true The city of love, a city of passion Where to next, only you can fashion Sitting by a fountain, resting on the stairs With this city I am having an affair Love some parts, also hate others Its a city of artists, its a wonder! So much inspiration in one place A new day and adventure, its the way With inspiration and love in the air Each moment you will cherish and care
poem
Kids: Never a Quiet Moment
Why do kids make parents mad?
Why do they behave so bad?
Kids are kids they say, its true
It seems they make me crazy too
All the times they misbehave
It’s just attention that they crave
Attention good or bad they’ll take
From morning to night – I need a break!
At 5 in the morning they wake me
Only 6 hours sleep they need
What happened to all the naps in day
Those stages of sleep are far away
Each day they test me on another thing
My heart melts – did I hear them sing?
The ups and downs of parenthood
not every day is going to be good
Today is quiet as they watch cartoons
The silence will be broken again soon
Annoying Headaches
I hate headaches, yes I do
The pounding in my head boom, boom
Nothing can make it go away
Water, coffee or even Earl Grey
I can’t focus, I can’t think
I can’t eat, I can barely drink
Finally the headache begins to dull
I can’t believe it’s finally done
I wasted days fighting the pain
Then suddenly you just go away
Another day you will return
For now I enjoy a head without hurt
A Vacation at the Lake
From the desert to the forest with the evergreen trees
A trip from coast to coast and I know where I’ll be
To the lake with the water splashing on the dock
The dirt road winds ’round the lake to walk
A trip so long by road, yet short by plane
Back to a place I grew up – so far, far away
Not just in miles but in years gone by
I long for the cool crisp air of night
The lake was always my second home you know
I traveled the world, always on the go
Not sure how I traveled – car, plane or boat
I am ready to return to the cabin down the road
Camp is a place in my heart and soul
It made my childhood memories like gold
I long for evenings sitting on the porch
The barbecue over and marshmallows scorched
A place still seen through my child’s eye
It looks so different as a grown-up, but why?
A Wedding Poem
What is a wedding but a union of two.
A day for commitment, our love is true.
Together we come on this special day.
Like everything else, we do it our way.
From rough beginnings those early days.
Our passion ran strong like fire ablaze.
Our hearts filled with love, each day it grew.
Now we navigate life like true partners do.
Today we stand here as true soulmates.
Finding your other half is truly great.
Anyone who meets us can clearly see.
Eran, Stacey, Tucker and Paige are a family!
A day of new beginnings, the next chapter of life.
We will leave here married – husband and wife.
Shades of Words
A pink pen writes
Like any other pen
I hold it tight
And write words again
Words in colors
Can you see meaning?
Orange of the sun
Does the ocean look green?
Words in all shades
Black, blue, red, and pink
Words shine on a page
Are they different you think?
A 7-year-old Insomniac
Paige my little girl
She can’t go to sleep tonight
The moon must be full
